Program Takes Guesswork
Out of Hiring Companies
-
- Innovative Web
Site Benefits Consumers
and Businesses
-
- PITTSBURGH,
May 9, 2005 - A local
company is providing
peace of mind to
consumers and businesses
by offering a free
service to help them
make informed choices
when hiring
professionals or buying
products.
- Higher Images Inc.,
founded in 2000,
operates a Web site
appropriately called
DoYouKnowAGood.com. The
site features factual
information,
testimonials and
marketing materials of
service providers in an
effort to assist
individuals in making
educated decisions.
-
- ``In order to
gain the amount of
information provided on
this site in a specific
industry, it would take
the average business or
consumer hours to
conduct the necessary
research, said Bryan
Thornberg, company
president. ``Our
multimedia site is
designed to save
consumers time by
consolidating a vast
amount of information
into one source. In
addition to reviewing
facts, testimonials and
references on a
particular business,
they can read
information about five
similar companies in a
single listing.
-
- The Web site
currently includes
information on
businesses in a variety
of categories, such as
home
remodeling/construction,
professional products
and services,
restaurants/hospitality,
activities for
children/youth,
health/beauty/fitness,
vehicles and other
consumer goods. A free
newsletter and
membership card that
offers coupons,
discounts and other
benefits are also
available.
-
- Companies that
would like to be listed
on DoYouKnowAGood.com
must be in good standing
with the Better Business
Bureau and verify they
have the necessary
licenses and insurance
coverage. Jen Stevens,
Operations Manager for
Higher Images,
researches every
companys vital
information and
background before
listing them on the
site. As an added safety
measure, a client
feedback section lets
consumers offer input
about their experience
with site members.
-
- ``I am so glad
we are helping
Pittsburghers find the
facts first before
putting their
hard-earned money at
risk, said Stevens.
``Many of the potential
clients dont even
qualify to be listed
with us. We reject
companies that practice
deceptive advertising,
engage in consumer
scams, overcharge or
under-deliver, dont
resolve customer
complaints and have
facilities that are not
business-like.
-
- Businesses
listed on
DoYouKnowAGood.com can
benefit by the increased
exposure and potential
for gaining new
customers. Paul M. Goltz,
a local attorney, was
one of the first clients
to be listed on the Web
site.
-
- ``I believe
that law firms,
companies and
organizations that use
the services of
DoYouKnowAGood.com will
benefit from their
work, said Goltz.
``They will grow and
position your company
for long-term success.
-
- Thornberg said
the number of visitor
hits to the site has
been increasing rapidly
since the site became
operational. He expects
to grow the company
nationally within the
next two years and is
already receiving
inquiries from
businesses in the New
York, Atlanta, Florida
and Texas markets.
-
- Pittsburghers
are asked to refer
companies that have
earned their respect and
trust so the site will
continue to grow and
offer helpful
information to
consumers.
-
- ``Good
people and businesses
are hard to find,
said Thornberg. ``We
want to take the worry
out of hiring a business
by providing free facts
fast.
